• Qatar University has decided to convert the room where Lionel Messi slept into a museum
• The Argentina squad set up camp at the university during their title-winning run in the Middle East
• Their 29-day stay culminated in an enthralling final win over defending champions France

While Lionel Messi is still revelling in his latest achievement of winning the World Cup, Qatar University has moved to immortalise the room he slept in.

Argentina camped at the Qatar University in Doha for the entire duration they were in Qatar. The Albiceleste beat France in the final on December 18th.

Qatar University has now announced that the room Messi spent his nights in will be converted into a mini-museum.

A video shows the autographed jerseys of the Argentina players who took part in the World Cup. The room is serenaded by the famous blue and white colours of the Argentina jersey.

The Qatar Peninsula reports that the camp was fine-tuned to make the Argentina players feel at home.

When will Messi return to PSG?

At the same time, Lionel Messi's much-anticipated return to club football has finally been revealed.

The 35-year-old inspired Argentina to their first World Cup triumph since 1986, scoring seven goals in the process and emerging as the tournament's best player. He is currently in his native Rosario, Argentina, basking in their World Cup glory amid the yuletide period.

While a good number of his PSG teammates have returned for club action, the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner has been afforded a well-deserved break as he recharges his batteries to spur Les Parisiens to Champions League success.

Messi seems to be continuing with his post-World Cup glory celebrations, at least going by his social media activity - days after he won the tournament.

The Paris Saint-Germain star was pivotal in Argentina's World Cup journey in Qatar, scoring seven goals during the tournament. Messi has since been in a celebratory mood and was recently pictured having a nap with the trophy in bed.

And the celebrations do not seem to end any time soon, with the 35-year-old treating his wife Antonela Rocuzzo to a dinner date on the eve of Christmas Day.
